Dissertation/Thesis Support Group

This semi-structured group focuses on helping graduate students build skills relevant to completing the dissertation (i.e., goal setting and time management) For information on the group, or to register to participate, contact Dr. Marcy Marinelli, Director of the Learning Assistance Service on x47680 or by e-mail marcym@umd.edu.
